17-16 +2.5 units ytd
Indians (-142) 2 units....The bad news on Carmona: He's walking everyone...the good: he's not allowing many people to cross the plate and he only allowed one BoB last time out. He's been pounding the ball low and in to righties and low and away to lefties, probably too much, leading to walks. He's getting ground balls when he needs them at an alarming rate though, stranding 80+% of runners. That won't hold up, but he won't keep walking people either. He was 3-0 with a 20/5 BB/K ratio against the Royals last season. Royals are losers of 5 straight and nasty stuff from Carmona won't help.
